02. Strawberry Lemonade.

warnings: reader stares at joel a lot and finds him hot as hell, reader is dramatic as hell (might be annoying to some), explicit thoughts, suggestive, sarah is alive and 12 years old here, reader thinks she's a homewrecker, not beta read.

summary: you just can't help but gawk at your hot contractor who's working for free, thank god the view is free too. but a revelation makes you question if you're lusting for a married man.

reader's outfit is the blue one of the dolls from the barbie movie (this one under)

You had settled on the couch on the second-floor balcony with a glass and pitcher of cold lemonade and a few snacks, while Joel was up on the roof, using a ladder to climb up to the edges.

There was no mistaking his experience— he made little noise at all, moving around the structure as if it were just another Tuesday. Despite his hardass appearance, he was a very skilled worker.

He eventually climbed down from the roof and headed inside, taking a second to catch his breath before spotting you upstairs.

He was immediately thrown off by the adorable dress— especially the heart detail. But he knew it was rude to stare, so he did his best to keep his eyes on yours.

"That… was actually a lot quicker than I thought it would be," Joel said, clearly pleased. "I should have the rest of the replacement shingles put on in no time at all…"

"Are they pink?" you giggled.

"They're white but I painted over the roof last time, I'll just paint over em' some other day."

"I got some snacks for us. I tested the fridge and it was working too." you poured him a glass of lemonade. "Here, cool off."

Joel took the drink. The cool liquid was very much appreciated after all of that hard work. He took a few swigs from his glass before he looked you over again.

"Thank you…" He nodded, clearly still unable to tear his eyes away from your dress. "Where'd you stay last night?"

"I found a nearby bed and breakfast beside a gasoline station. At least they didn't question why I was all dirty when I checked in." you giggled. "So, what's next?"

"Hmm… the plumbin'. I’m assuming it hasn’t been fixed." Joel's brow furrowed slightly. “The main shutoff doesn’t work very well, so if there’s a leak, you won’t be able to do anything about it. That’s pretty much a priority.”

"Oh, right. Um... so what do we do?"

"Well, we’ve got to find the shutoff for now," Joel said as he set his drink down. It was clear he hadn’t done much plumbing in his life, but from the times he had worked on it, it was also clear he was quite skillful when it came to repairs.

"Follow me. The main one should be in the basement, from what I remember."

"Alright! Lead the way."

You follow Joel as he headed down the stairs into the basement— it was pretty cluttered down there, with lots of old junk strewn around. As he made his way across the room to the back wall, he grabbed an old flashlight and turned it on.

"Hopefully, the shutoff valve ain't coated in any rust," he muttered. "But if it is, might be tougher than expected…"

Sure enough, he found the right valve, but it was covered in that awful orange rust and was completely stuck. He frowned as he studied it.

"Oh… that ain't good. This could be a problem…"

"Oh no... what do we do?"

He looked at you and shrugged.

"We could apply some WD-40 to it and hope that loosens it up. But that’s a long shot. In all honesty, I think we’re gon' need to hire a professional plumber to come in and see what can be done about this."

"Well, uh..." you trailed off. Joel watched as you fidgeted with your fingers as your body grew stiff.

Joel could tell that you were trying your best not to worry, but he really couldn’t come up with any alternative. As much as he hated to ask, he really didn’t think there was another way around it.

"I'll cover it. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Joel." you put your hands behind your back and smiled cheekily at him.

In the course of the next few weeks, Joel hired workers from an electrician to install the chandelier and fix the wiring, to plumbers to fix the plumbing issue. With his own money, nonetheless.

"Thank you, seriously, Joel..." You stared up at the pink jewels dangling off the chandelier in awe.

Joel chuckled softly and was about to respond, but he paused, realizing just how many times he’s heard those same words in just a few weeks.

"You don't have to thank me so much, you know. This was nothing"

"I mean, giving thanks is always a basic human thing." you smiled and placed both of your hands on your hips. "Appreciation can do amazing things."

There was another pause. He shrugged and smirked. "I mean… are you always this appreciative?" he asked, trying to hide his smile.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I?"

"I dunno, I've just never known anyone who can be this appreciative, you know? It’s definitely not something I'm used to hearing…"

There was another pause as he was contemplating what to say.

"It’s just that… you're never gonna make me feel bad for it or anything, right?"

Your shoulders dropped and you tilted your head to the side. "Why would I?"

He sighed.

"I dunno. It's just that most people I know like to take advantage of or make me feel bad for what I do for them. You know, like always makin' me feel like I should do more just because I'm helpin' in the first place. But you don't ever act like that, and… well, I dunno. I guess I haven't been used to it."

"Why would they do such a thing?" you looked offended, furrowing your brows.

"I've always just been surrounded by assholes. I guess it's what's really normal for me. But with you… I mean, the difference is staggerin', isn't it? I guess I'm just now realizin' just how shitty most people that I've known actually are."

You smiled and walked towards him. "And how many people did you offer to fix their house for free?"

He laughed as he thought about it.

"Never before have I offered something like that. Usually, it's more like helpin' 'em fix their car or somethin' like that. So honestly, this is new territory for both of us. Though, even then, you're still much more appreciative than just about anyone I’ve ever come across."

"But I do promise," you held out your pinky finger with a wide smile. "I will pay you back soon."

For some reason, the pinky finger was funny to him. Maybe it was just that you were so genuinely innocent in your promise, or the contrast between how serious of a situation this could potentially be and you being so playful. He took your pinky finger and wrapped his own around yours. He looked you over.

"Do you swear? Because if you don't, there's about to be hell to pay. I take pinky promises quite seriously."

"That's so fun! I always keep my promises."

"I know you will. So this right here is a sign of a promise. And I trust that you will be able to keep that promise, so I don't need you to repay me right away."

"I promise. Cross my heart, hope to die."

He laughed and nodded, his smile growing as he squeezed slightly harder around your pinky. "Okay then. Just remember, you break this pinky promise, and I won't hesitate to let you know just how disappointed I am."

You let out a giggle after letting go of his pinky "Ooooh, I'm so scared."

He laughed as well.

"I think you should be! I'm not usually one to joke around when it comes to stuff like this." he chuckled again. "But just so you know, even though I'd be pretty angry, I really wouldn't have it in me to stay mad at you. You know that by now, right?"

"Why?" you batted your eyelashes at him "Is it because I'm preeeeetty?"

He was trying really hard to suppress his smile and hold back from laughing.

"It is indeed because I think you are pretty…. But I can't deny the fact that you've also become really good at pushin' out my buttons. Even if I really should be furious 'bout all the money I spent on this house, you make it tough not to just smile back at 'cha and forgive ya."

"I know, I'm sorryyyy..." you clasped your hands together and dramatically knelt down in front of him.

He chuckled. "Well, I really mean it. Your personality is one of the most refreshin' personalities I've ever come across in a long time. And I never would have even met you if it weren't for this house and Mags. That has to count for somethin', right?"

"Sentimental value?"

"Yeah, exactly. It's like the universe knew I needed someone like you in my life. Who knew a house could actually lead to a meaningful relationship… I definitely didn't see that comin'."

"The world works in mysterious ways." you shrugged. "Keep up, old man."

Joel laughed louder. There was something about you calling him an old man that he loved, even though he should be offended.

"Watch it, before you start makin' this old man feel his age. My body is just now startin' to fall apart on me, don't give it a reason to start fallin' apart faster than it already is!"

The both of you laughed. You got up from the floor and fixed your dress "So, is there anything else the house needs?"

Joel thought for a moment, finally coming to the realization that the house was probably good for now. It'd definitely need some more work on the interior in time, but at the least, it was liveable.

"Honestly? No, I don't believe there is. I think this house is good for now. I'll keep doin' my check-ins every few weeks or so to make sure that everythin' is alright with the house, but besides that, there's really nothin' more we need to do here."

"So..." you fiddled with your fingers. "What do we do now?"

Joel shrugged. "I'm not sure. I guess we just have ourselves a nice, long moment of standin' here and being proud of the fact that we've both survived the experience of trying to renovate this damn house. It’s a miracle either of us has our sanity still intact."

He laughed as he leaned up against the wall of the dining room.

"You know, you've spent a lot of time here. I've never even seen the inside of your house." you giggled.

"You know you're not wrong, I was here almost every day for weeks on end." his eyes trailed off as he thought and sighed. "I guess I should invite you over sometime then, right? It's not nearly as interesting as this house, but I'm sure you'd love it."

"My house is pink. Big deal." you rolled your eyes and walked towards him, leaning against the kitchen wall "You know every nook and cranny of my house, of course, I deserve to know yours."

"It's only fair."

"Indeed."

You kept staring at Joel. He had some beads of sweat falling from his scalp to his face, and god did he look hotter than hell. You felt like a Victorian lady seeing an ankle.

"Are you single-" your question got muffled by the sound of the doorbell, and turn your head towards the door "Coming!" you said.

You walked towards the door and swung it open, greeted by a young girl. "Hi, is my dad here?"

Your brows furrowed. "Dad?" who could possibly-

"Sarah," Joel said from behind you. Your head immediately snapped towards him and your eyes widened like a deer in headlights. "Have you met my daughter?" he asked you.

You blinked twice. "I-I don't think I have."

You really had no idea he even was a father... or even considered, married.

Sarah looked around the room in awe, her eyes trailing all across the furniture and her expression changing several times as she looked.

"Did you fix this house all by yourself?" she asked Joel, her eyes wide.

Joel cleared his throat and nodded. "Yeah. I rebuilt this whole house pretty much myself— minus the plumbin' and electrician work, which I had hired some guys for. We still have to go through planning on each room, but it's almost done." he pointed towards you. "She's still thinkin' about what to do with all these rooms."

Sarah's facial expression changed to a small smile as she giggled. She turned her head towards you. "Daddy tells me a lot about you. He says you're so nice. The nicest lady he's ever met. Was it all true?”

You were still in a shocked state but you shook your head a bit and gave her a smile. "Why don't you be the judge of that?"

"You're really pretty..." Sarah stared in awe at you.

"Hey, didn't you say you gotta pick up your Girl Scout cookies today?" Joel looked at his wristwatch. "We gotta hurry if you wanna start sellin' 'em tomorrow."

"Oh, right!"

Joel and Sarah waved goodbye to you as they walked out of your house, and you stood there on your porch questioning everything.

"He's... married?" you closed the front door and walked up the stairs, slowly and dramatically. You tried to think of the signs that he was married. Ring? You didn't even notice! Well, not counting the times you stared at his large fingers and imagined them inside of you...

"Oh, god..." the realization hit you. You entered the main bedroom and you fell to your knees. "I'm a homewrecker!" you cried out.

My Thoughts on a Spring Snowstorm in Maine.

In case anyone was wondering where I've been the past few days -- Maine (where I live) was hit by a massive Spring Snowstorm that started late in the evening of Wednesday, April 3rd, and continued until mid-day on Friday, April 5th. In our area - somewhat northwest of Portland - the accumulation of heavy, wet snow amounted to 12" to 15".

We lost the power (along with some 300,000 other households) some time in the early hours of Thursday, April 4th. Repair crews made it to our street this morning and electricity was restored to us by 10:30 a.m. After a bit less than 3 days managing without electricity, heat, running water, a functioning septic system, hot coffee and, of course, internet service and other modern amenities -- my husband and I were very, very happy to be returned to the 21st century!

However, I have been reminded, once again, of all the people in this world of ours who are struggling to live without what we consider the basic necessities of life - much less the modern amenities and comforts we are so fortunate to enjoy. My husband and I had food to eat that didn't need cooking (PB&J, bread, cheese, muffins & raisin bran cereal), bottles of clean water, flashlights and candles and extra matches and batteries. We had plenty of warm clothes for layering and extra blankets for warmth when we went to bed. We had a sturdy roof over our heads and felt safe in our dark and quiet neighborhood. Most importantly, we had the knowledge that there were people working out in the storm to fix things and the absolute certainty that in a few days, at most, things would be returning to normal! How awful it is to know that so many people in our world today have none of these things and, tragically, little to no hope of their lives returning to the normal they once knew. Solutions are neither easy nor simple - what is necessary is good will, kindness and generosity of spirit and action from most of us - not just some of us. I persist in clinging to the belief that while there is life, there is hope - but sometimes the world makes it very hard to continue to believe.

The worst thing about this last hurrah of Winter given to us as a slightly tardy April Fool's gift by Mother Nature is the terrible damage done to the trees and shrubs and plants - all budded and waiting for Spring warmth to open - to leaf and flower. My neighborhood is filled with giant pine trees - very old and straight and tall. The ground is now covered with their branches, from small to huge. The maples and oaks and birches fared little better. When the snow finally melts, the sound of many people and their chainsaws clearing it all will fill the air. From my kitchen window, I can see a huge pine now missing its top half - snapped like a matchstick! Amazingly, it didn't fall on the house that sits near it. I don't think the tree can survive that damage, but it will require a crew of professionals to safely take down what remains.

The smaller plantings also were heavily damaged. A row of small-leaf rhododendrons that we planted nearly 40 years ago - that have survived countless snow and ice storms over the years - are lying bent to the ground by the weight of the snow. Far too many of their branches are snapped and broken away - it remains to be seen what may survive of them and be salvageable. I and countless pollinators and hummingbirds will miss their sweet, pink beauty this Spring!

A lilac varietal that we planted over ten years ago looks to have lost almost all its branches. We had been told it was a "miniature" variety that would stay small, so we planted it in front of our walkway porch. This lilac ignored its label and embraced growth with an enthusiastic abandon - reaching the porch roof, aiming for the sky and the sun. I resisted trimming it back - even as it obscured the view and overhung the railing onto the walkway, because it's purple flowers were so abundant, so fragrant and so beautiful - well, I just couldn't bring myself to limit its zest for life! It blossomed after the rhododendrons, when the weather was warmer and the windows were open, and its fragrance filled the whole house. I shall miss everything about that lilac that is still so young and hope that enough of it survives to eventually grow and blossom again.

Our single broad-leaf rhododendron, thankfully, seems to have weathered this storm with minimal damage. It has not been so lucky multiple times over the last nearly 40 years! It is battered and yet unbowed! I am hopeful that we will be able to enjoy its bouquet-sized blossoms this Spring!

I haven't had the chance yet to assess the damage to various lilacs and forsythia - the snow needs to melt and time will tell. The "grande old dame" of our lilacs, however, took some heavy wounds - not for the first time, either. This lilac has very fragrant and abundant white blossoms and was growing here before we built our house. It has lost major branches, been split in half in a massive ice storm - but it is a survivor and has always healed and continued to grow and blossom - even as it has assumed a different shape and silouette each time. It looks like it may lose about one-third of itself this time, but it's too soon to tell. Some major branches are snapped right off and many more are flat to the ground and trapped in the snow. As I watched it today, one long branch that was held by a lighter layer of snow seemed to break free and flung itself skyward and managed to stay upright on its own - a hopeful sign! When it is completely freed, we will lend it some support where necessary, perhaps do a little trimming and I trust it will heal itself and we will all get used to the new iteration of its appearance.

There has been a lot going on for me and my husband and family throughout 2023 and so far in 2024 - with no end in sight. Multiple crises, small and large, have been overwhelming at times and have occupied much of my mind and my time. These last few days, however, have had a narrow and more simple focus. The problems weren't really personal, because they were shared by so many. I went to bed early because my old eyes don't do well by candlelight and because it was warmer under a stack of blankets! I slept long and well and recharged my old battery. I had no control over events and, thus, no need to fret or feel responsible for it. Considering that I am a world-class fretter and worrier - that was a novel experience for me! Most of all, I had some very quiet time to think and just be.

I have experienced many difficult and painful things over the years and continue to do so, but if I've learned one thing in my 72 years, it is that things can always be worse! My experience of this storm certainly could have been much worse. Except for my dismay over damage caused by the storm - and Nature will eventually heal and be restored (with a little help from us) - looking at the last few days honestly - they weren't really all that bad at all! That being said - I am totally ready for the snow to melt and for Spring to finally arrive!

House Demolition Near Me: What You Need to Know Before Hiring Professionals

Introduction

House demolition is often the first step in a major construction or renovation project. Whether you’re planning to rebuild, renovate, or clear out an old structure, finding a reliable service for house demolition near me is essential. The demolition process involves careful planning, adherence to safety regulations, and the use of specialized equipment to ensure that the job is done safely and efficiently.

In this article, we’ll explore what you need to know about house demolition, from the various types of demolition to the factors to consider when hiring a professional demolition service in your area.

What is House Demolition?

House demolition refers to the process of tearing down or dismantling a residential structure, either partially or entirely. There are several reasons why property owners opt for demolition, including the need to make space for a new construction project, eliminating hazardous or unsafe buildings, or getting rid of outdated or structurally compromised homes.

Demolition is not just about knocking down walls. It requires proper assessment, planning, and execution to ensure that the surrounding properties and environment are not affected by the process. Depending on the project, demolition may involve heavy machinery or manual labor, and it must adhere to local laws and environmental guidelines.

Types of House Demolition

When looking for house demolition near me, it’s essential to understand that not all demolition projects are the same. The type of demolition required will depend on factors such as the size of the property, the structure’s condition, and the project’s goals.

1. Total Demolition

As the name suggests, total demolition involves the complete teardown of a house. This is common when the structure is beyond repair or when a property owner wants to build an entirely new home on the land. In this process, the entire house is demolished using heavy equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and wrecking balls.

When to choose total demolition: If your house is structurally unsound or you plan to build a new home from the ground up, total demolition is often the best option.

2. Selective Demolition

Selective demolition involves carefully dismantling specific parts of the house while leaving the rest of the structure intact. This type of demolition is ideal for renovation projects where only certain areas, like walls or interior features, need to be removed while the foundation or main structure remains.

When to choose selective demolition: If you're planning a home renovation and only need to remove a portion of the house, such as an old wing, roof, or interior, selective demolition is the way to go.

3. Deconstruction

Deconstruction is a more environmentally friendly approach to demolition, where the house is dismantled piece by piece to salvage reusable materials like bricks, wood, doors, and windows. This method is more time-consuming but reduces waste and allows for the recycling of building materials.

When to choose deconstruction: If you're eco-conscious and want to minimize the environmental impact of your demolition project, deconstruction is an excellent option.

4. Interior Demolition

Interior demolition focuses on the removal of internal elements like walls, ceilings, flooring, and fixtures, without affecting the exterior of the building. This is commonly done during interior remodeling projects where the layout of the home needs to be altered.

When to choose interior demolition: Ideal for remodeling projects where you want to gut the interior of the house without tearing down the exterior.

Factors to Consider When Hiring House Demolition Services Near You

Choosing the right demolition service is crucial for the success of your project. When searching for house demolition near me, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you hire a professional, reliable, and efficient team.

1. Experience and Expertise

Demolition is a complex process that requires knowledge and experience. Ensure that the company you hire has a proven track record of successfully completing similar demolition projects. Look for reviews, testimonials, and examples of past work to gauge their expertise.

Tip: Ask the demolition contractor how long they’ve been in business and if they specialize in residential demolitions. An experienced company will be familiar with local regulations and safety protocols.

2. Licensing and Insurance

Before hiring a demolition service, check that they have the proper licenses and insurance coverage. Demolition companies should be licensed to operate in your area and should carry liability insurance to cover any accidents or damages that may occur during the project.

Why it’s important: Demolition can be dangerous work, and insurance protects both you and the contractor in case of unforeseen events. Without proper coverage, you could be held liable for damages or injuries.

3. Cost of House Demolition

The cost of house demolition near me can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the house, the type of demolition needed, and the complexity of the project. On average, demolition costs range between $4 to $15 per square foot, but it’s essential to get a detailed quote from your contractor that outlines all costs, including permits, labor, equipment, and disposal fees.

Tip: Get quotes from multiple demolition contractors and compare their pricing, but don’t choose based solely on price—consider experience and service quality as well.

4. Permits and Regulations

Demolition projects are subject to local building codes and regulations, and you’ll likely need permits before any work can begin. A professional demolition company should handle this for you, ensuring that all necessary permits are obtained and that the project complies with local zoning laws.

Why it matters: Failure to secure the appropriate permits could result in fines or delays in your project, so it’s critical that your contractor handles this part of the process.

5. Environmental Considerations

House demolition can produce a significant amount of waste, much of which could be harmful to the environment if not handled correctly. Look for a demolition company that prioritizes sustainability by recycling materials or minimizing waste through deconstruction practices.

Tip: Ask the contractor how they handle waste disposal and whether they recycle materials like metal, wood, and concrete to reduce landfill impact.

6. Safety Protocols

Demolition is a high-risk job that involves the use of heavy machinery and potentially hazardous materials like asbestos or lead. The safety of workers and nearby residents should be a top priority for any demolition company. Ensure that your contractor follows strict safety protocols, including securing the site, wearing protective gear, and properly managing hazardous materials.

Tip: Ask the contractor about their safety procedures and how they plan to minimize risks during the demolition process.

Steps Involved in the House Demolition Process

Understanding the steps involved in a demolition project can help you prepare for what’s ahead. Here's a general overview of what to expect:

1. Initial Inspection and Assessment

Before demolition begins, the contractor will conduct an inspection of the property to assess the structure and determine the best demolition method. This is also the time to identify any hazardous materials, such as asbestos, that need to be removed safely.

2. Securing Permits

Once the assessment is complete, the contractor will secure the necessary permits from your local government. This can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on your location.

3. Disconnecting Utilities

Before any demolition work can start, all utilities (gas, water, electricity) must be safely disconnected to prevent accidents during the demolition process.

4. Demolition Process

Depending on the type of demolition, heavy machinery (such as bulldozers or excavators) or manual labor may be used to tear down the structure. The demolition team will work carefully to ensure the surrounding properties and environment are protected.

5. Site Cleanup

Once the house is demolished, the contractor will clean up the debris and haul it away for disposal or recycling. This includes clearing the site of all materials and ensuring that the land is ready for future construction or landscaping.

Conclusion

If you’re planning a major renovation or new construction project, finding a reliable service for house demolition near me is the first critical step. With the right demolition team, you can ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient process, whether you’re tearing down an old structure or preparing for a rebuild. By considering factors like experience, licensing, cost, and safety, you can hire the right professionals to get the job done right.

Be sure to choose a reputable contractor who follows local regulations and prioritizes sustainability, and you’ll be well on your way to a successful demolition project that sets the stage for your future plans.

[スタオケ] La Corda d'Oro Starlight Orchestra Main Story Chapter 2-15 Translation

*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *Main story tag will be #Main Starlight

Akira: Yo, Osakabe. How are things lookin’?

Seiji: I'm still waiting for a quote. They're a small construction company, so it'll take a little while longer than usual.

Seiji: In any case, fixing the roof would be the biggest expense. We should still be able to remain within the budget if we can keep the roof expenses under control. 

Akira: Yeah, well, the roof is one thing, but we can't leave the walls as it is either. They're peelin’ off quite a bit, aren't they?

Seiji: Well if push comes to shove, we can hire a professional for the initial inspection and handle the rest ourselves.

Seiji: If you aren't picky about the quality, painting a wall isn't really that hard of a task.

Akira: Oh, that sounds good. It'll spare us some expense, and we'll all have to do what we can to help out.

Akira: One of my guys’ family runs a house paintin’ business.

Akira: I'll try asking him about it to see if we can get it done for cheaper.

Seiji: Please do. I'll try to see if we have other options in the meantime.

Seiji: —Speaking of the devil… That should be the construction company I was talking about.

Seiji: …Hello. Yes, this is Osakabe speaking. Regarding the quote we previously discussed…

Joyo Male Student 1: W-Why are those two…

Joyo Male Student 2: What's going on all of a sudden?

Joyo Male Student 3: They're both talking to each other… Normally! Is it… Is it gonna snow tomorrow or something!?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Tomoeda: President! What happened!?

Seiji: What do you mean what happened?

Tomoeda: Please do not play dumb! Rumors about you and Kirigaya are spreading like wildfire throughout the school!

Tomoeda: Rumors about how the upright Student Council president with a spotless record was talking to a delinquent.

Seiji: I see? 

Tomoeda: No one took their lessons seriously today. Everyone was jumping at the news.

Seiji: They stopped attending their classes just because I talked to someone? How deplorable.

Tomoeda: But that's not the main point here! He's… He's a delinquent, isn't he? Someone you should be cracking down on!

Seiji: …Indeed.

Tomoeda: I-Indeed…? What's gotten into you?

Yasu: Boss! What's goin’ on!?

Akira: What do you mean? Is there something goin’ on?

Yasu: Don't shit with me! Weren't you being all chummy with that guy Osakabe today!?

Akira: Yeah. We had business.

Yasu: No, no, even if it was business, I'm sure that guy was there faultin’ you for somethin’, right?

Yasu: There's no need to talk to the insufferable Student Council!

Akira: Perhaps.

Yasu: P-Perhaps…? What's gotten into you this time, Boss?

Numahira: Can you believe it? He’s even spending money to repair that dump.

Numahira: Don't you think it’d be great if such an important concert of his was ruined?

Bushijma: Yeah.

Flat Roofing Contractor Services

Are you tired of endlessly searching for a reliable contractor to fix your leaky flat roof? Do you want to avoid the hassle and stress that come with poor workmanship and high repair costs? Look no further! Our flat roofing contractor services are here to take the burden off your shoulders. We offer top-notch craftsmanship, excellent customer service, and competitive pricing. So sit back, relax, and let us handle all your roofing needs!

What is a flat roof?

A flat roof is a type of roofing system that has a uniform and level surface. The term “flat” is used in reference to the horizontal plane rather than the sloped or pitched roofs commonly seen on residential and commercial buildings. While most flat roofs are indeed flat, there is usually a slight gradient or pitch to the surface in order for water to drain off.

What are the benefits of a flat roof?

A flat roof has a number of benefits that make it an attractive option for many homeowners and businesses. For one, flat roofs are much easier to maintain than pitched roofs. They don't require as much regular upkeep and can last for decades with proper care. Flat roofs also provide a great deal of usable space on top of the building that can be utilized for storage, solar panels, or even outdoor entertaining areas. Additionally, flat roofs tend to be more energy-efficient than pitched roofs since they reflect heat better in the summer and retain heat in the winter.

What are the different types of flat roofs?

There are four main types of flat roofs: built-up roofing, single-ply membrane roofing, spray foam roofing, and metal roofing. Built-Up Roofing: Built-up roofing is one of the most common types of flat roofs. It is made up of multiple layers of tar and gravel that are applied over a base layer of felt or fabric. This type of roofing is very durable and can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Single-Ply Membrane Roofing: Single-ply membrane roofing is a newer type of flat roof that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It consists of a single layer of synthetic material (usually PVC or TPO) that is applied directly to the deck. This type of roofing is very easy to install and repair, and it can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Spray Foam Roofing: Spray foam roofing is another newer type of flat roof that has gained popularity in recent years. It consists of spraying a layer of polyurethane foam directly onto the deck. This type of roofing provides excellent insulation and can last for 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Metal Roofing: Metal roofing is another option for flat roofs. Metal roofs are made from steel, aluminum, or copper and can last for 50 years or more with proper maintenance.

But with so many options available, how do you know which type of roofing is best for your needs? In this blog post, we'll explore everything you need to know about replacing or installing a new roof - from choosing the right materials to finding the perfect contractor. So grab a cup of coffee and read on!

When to replace your roof

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and it’s important to keep it in good condition. But how do you know when it’s time to replace your roof? There are a few things you can look for to determine whether your roof needs to be replaced: 1. Check for leaks: If you notice any leaks in your ceiling, it’s a sign that your roof needs to be replaced. 2. Look for missing or damaged shingles: If you see that some of your shingles are missing or damaged, it means that your roof is no longer providing adequate protection for your home. 3. Inspect the attic: Take a look in your attic and check for any signs of water damage or leaks. This is often an indication that the roof is no longer doing its job. 4. Check the age of the roof: Most roofs will last between 20 and 25 years. If yours is getting up there in age, it may be time to start thinking about replacement. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to contact a professional roofer to discuss your options for replacement or installation.

The benefits of a new roof

A new roof can provide many benefits for your home, including improved energy efficiency, increased curb appeal, and protection from the elements. Energy efficiency is improved because new roofs are better insulated and have fewer gaps and leaks than older roofs. This can help you save money on your energy bills. Increased curb appeal is another benefit of a new roof. A new roof can make your home look more attractive and increase its value. Finally, a new roof will protect your home from the elements, such as wind, rain, and snow.

How to install a new roof

When it comes time to install a new roof, there are two main ways to go about it: hiring a professional roofing contractor or doing it yourself. If you're handy with tools and comfortable working on your home, you can save money by installing the new roof yourself. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get the job done: 1. Remove the old roofing materials. This is the most labor-intensive part of the job, so be prepared for a workout. Start by removing any shingles, nails, and other debris from the surface of your roof. Then, gently pry up the edge of the roofing paper or tar paper and peel it away from the surface of your roof. Be careful not to damage the underlying sheathing as you work. 2. Inspect and repair the sheathing. Once all of the old roofing materials have been removed, take a close look at the sheathing beneath. If there are any cracks, holes, or other damage, now is the time to repair them before proceeding. Once your sheathing is in good condition, move on to step three. 3. Install ice and water shield around the perimeter of your roof. This material will help protect your home from water damage during heavy rains or melting snow and ice. Apply it according to manufacturer's instructions, starting at the bottom edge of your roof and working up towards the top. 4. Lay down a layer of

The different types of roofs

There are many types of roofs, each with their own unique benefits. The most common types are asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and tile roofs. Asphalt shingles are the most popular type of roofing material in the United States. They are made from a fiberglass or paper mat that is coated with asphalt and then covered with granules. Asphalt shingles are easy to install and repair, and they are relatively inexpensive. Metal roofs are another popular option, especially in areas that experience high winds or hail storms. Metal roofs are made from steel, aluminum, or copper, and they can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance. Tile roofs are also a popular choice, especially in warm climates. Tile roofs are made from clay or concrete, and they can last up to 100 years with proper maintenance.

How to know when you need a new roof

If you have an asphalt shingle roof, it typically lasts 20 to 25 years. But that doesn’t mean you won’t need to perform maintenance on it during that time. You should inspect your roof at least once a year and after any major storms. Look for missing, damaged, or curling shingles. Also check for any peeling paint or rust spots on metal flashing or valleys. These are all signs that your roof is deteriorating and needs to be replaced. If you have a tile roof, it will usually last longer than an asphalt shingle roof, but it’s still susceptible to damage from storms and age. Inspect tile roofs for cracked or missing tiles. Also look for any rust spots on the metal flashing or valleys. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to replace your roof.

Conclusion

Replacing or repairing your roof is a big decision and should be thoroughly considered before committing to any one option. With the proper research and guidance, you can make sure that you select the right installation choice for your home. We hope that this article has helped you understand the process of roof replacement or installation so that you can choose what’s best for your home. Don't forget to consult with certified professionals when making such an important investment - they will help ensure that everything runs smoothly!

Roof Repair Problems and Their Solutions

1. Roof Leaks

Problem: Leaks happen when shingles are damaged, flashing is cracked, or roofing materials wear out. This allows water to get inside, causing stains, mold, and possible damage to the structure.

Solution:

Replace Shingles: If shingles are missing or broken, replace them to stop water from getting in.

Fix Flashing: Repair or replace cracked flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights to seal gaps.

Seal Cracks: Apply roof sealant to smaller cracks to temporarily stop leaks.

2. Missing or Damaged Shingles

Problem: Strong winds, hail, or aging can make shingles crack, curl, or fall off. This exposes the roof and can lead to leaks.

Solution:

Replace Shingles: Replace missing or broken shingles quickly to protect the roof.

Check the Roof: If many shingles are missing, the roof might need to be replaced soon.

3. Clogged Gutters

Problem: When gutters get clogged with leaves and debris, water backs up onto the roof, causing leaks and mold in the attic or ceilings.

Solution:

Clean Gutters: Regularly clean gutters to keep them clear and let water flow freely.

Install Gutter Guards: Gutter guards can help prevent debris from collecting.

Fix or Replace Gutters: If gutters are damaged or broken, they should be repaired or replaced.

4. Roof Flashing Issues

Problem: Flashing is metal around roof features like chimneys or vents. Over time, it can rust, shift, or loosen, allowing water inside.

Solution:

Repair Flashing: Reseal or replace damaged flashing to prevent leaks.

Install New Flashing: If the roof is old, put in new flashing for long-term protection.

5. Ponding or Pooling Water

Problem: Flat roofs can collect water in low areas, which can damage the roof and cause leaks.

Solution:

Adjust the Roof Slope: Make sure the roof is sloped properly to help water drain off.

Add Drains: Install extra drains to help water flow off the roof.

Resurface the Roof: For old roofs, resurfacing or installing a new membrane can help with drainage.

6. Mold or Mildew Growth

Problem: Mold or mildew grows when there is too much moisture from leaks, poor ventilation, or high humidity. It can weaken the roof and cause health problems.

Solution:

Remove Mold: Clean and remove mold immediately with safe cleaning products.

Improve Ventilation: Add proper roof ventilation to reduce moisture buildup.

Fix Leaks: Repair any leaks quickly to prevent moisture from causing mold.

7. Roof Deck Damage

Problem: The roof deck is the main base of the roof. Damage from water or pests can weaken the whole structure. It's hard to spot until it causes big problems.

Solution:

Get a Roof Inspection: Have a professional inspect the roof to check for damage.

Replace the Deck: If the deck is badly damaged, it may need to be replaced.

8. Granule Loss from Shingles

Problem: Asphalt shingles have granules that protect them from the sun and weather. Over time, these granules wear off, leaving the roof more vulnerable to damage.

Solution:

Replace Shingles: If there is a lot of granule loss, replace the shingles.

Apply Roof Coating: A protective coating may help extend the life of the shingles.

9. Ice Dams

Problem: In cold weather, ice can build up along the roof edges, blocking water from draining. This can cause leaks inside the house.

Solution:

Insulate the Attic: Good insulation helps keep the roof temperature steady and prevents ice buildup.

Install Heat Cables: Heat cables along the roof edge can melt ice and allow water to flow off.

Remove Ice Dams: If ice dams form, a professional can safely remove them.

10. Roof Age

Problem: Older roofs become weaker, and problems like leaks or worn shingles are more common. If your roof is over 20 years old, it might need to be replaced.

Solution:

Replace the Roof: If the roof is too old or too damaged, it’s better to replace it to ensure better protection and energy efficiency.

Understanding Solar Panels Maintenance Cost: What You Need to Know

If you've already installed solar panels in your home or business, you may be wondering about the solar panels maintenance cost and how it will affect your investment. At SFR Electrical, we understand the importance of keeping your solar system in top condition to ensure long-term efficiency and performance. In this blog, we’ll dive into the factors that influence solar panels maintenance cost and why regular maintenance is essential for maximizing the lifespan of your solar panels.

What Does Solar Panel Maintenance Involve?

Before discussing the solar panels maintenance cost, it’s essential to understand what maintenance typically involves. In general, solar panel systems require minimal upkeep, but there are a few key areas that need attention to ensure they continue to operate at their best.

Cleaning Dust, debris, and bird droppings can accumulate on solar panels, blocking sunlight and reducing their efficiency. Cleaning your panels regularly ensures they are operating at full capacity. The cleaning process may involve brushing off debris and using water to wash the panels, which is usually done by professionals to avoid damage.

Inspection of the System It’s important to have a professional inspect the solar panels, inverters, and wiring to make sure everything is functioning properly. The inspector will look for signs of wear or damage and ensure that the system is free from any electrical or mechanical faults that could affect performance.

Inverter and Battery Maintenance Inverters are essential for converting the power your panels generate into usable electricity. These units need to be regularly inspected to check for any signs of malfunction. Additionally, if you have a battery storage system, regular checks of the battery’s charge cycle and overall condition are important for ensuring reliable backup power when needed.

System Performance Monitoring Monitoring the performance of your solar system is crucial. Many solar panel systems come with apps or software that allow you to track your energy production. A professional technician can help set up and troubleshoot any performance issues and keep an eye on system output to ensure maximum efficiency.

Factors That Influence Solar Panels Maintenance Cost

Several factors can affect the solar panels maintenance cost, which is usually an ongoing, yearly expense. Here are the main considerations that influence how much you’ll pay for maintaining your solar panel system:

Size and Complexity of the System The larger and more complex your solar panel system, the higher the maintenance costs. If you have a large commercial system or a setup with multiple inverters or battery storage, expect to pay more for regular inspections and maintenance services.

Roof Type and Accessibility The condition and accessibility of your roof will impact maintenance costs. If your panels are installed on a steep or hard-to-reach roof, the labor involved in cleaning and inspecting them could be more expensive. Similarly, a roof that requires repairs before maintenance can also increase the overall cost.

Frequency of Maintenance The solar panels maintenance cost will vary depending on how often you schedule servicing. Most professionals recommend an annual inspection, but more frequent cleaning or troubleshooting may be needed, especially if your panels are located in dusty or polluted areas.

Location The location of your home or business also affects maintenance costs. If you're in Kedron, QLD, SFR Electrical offers affordable maintenance services. However, more remote locations may result in higher travel fees or added costs for parts and labor.

Is Solar Panel Maintenance Worth the Cost?

While the solar panels maintenance cost may seem like an added expense, it is essential for ensuring your system continues to operate at peak efficiency. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, extends the life of your solar panels, and maximizes your energy savings over time. By investing in professional maintenance services, you can protect your solar system and ensure that it performs optimally for many years.

Homeowners — When to Repair and When to Replace

Do you currently have a problem area in your home? All homeowners do from time to time. Are you not quite sure how to proceed? Is it better to repair or replace?

The decision itself can be a tough call. Here’s how to determine when to repair and replace the items in your home.

Before You Jump In

As you think about repairing and replacing the broken items in your home, think about the following elements: 

Factor in the General Cost

Keep in mind that the cost of fixing an appliance can be as much as buying a new device outright. It's good to weigh this option before spending the money to restore an item. 

Check Appliance Warranties

Many manufacturers have warranties. Be sure to check the length before repairing a device, window or roof because it could still be eligible to claim under warranty. 

Observe the Overall Damage

Another factor is the underlying damage to the item. Quite frankly, the device could be broken beyond repair, requiring you to replace it. You don’t want to waste your time or money trying to repair something that can never be fixed. 

A Guide to Home Essentials

Use this guide to determine if you need to repair or replace items in five different areas of your home. 

Windows 

The bottom line about windows is that they leak air, causing energy inefficiency.

Repair: If your window frame is in good condition and you like the look of the style compared to the rest of the house, consider repairing the windows so they're more energy-efficient. Do so by modifying the window sash and replacing it with double glass to reduce heat loss in the winter. 

Replace: Another option is to replace your windows with storm windows to increase energy efficiency. You could also hire a professional contractor to do a complete window replacement. 

Gutters and Roofs

Malfunctioning gutters can cause rainwater to seep into the foundation of your house, causing instability and flooding. We all know what happens with a leaky roof.

Repair: Evaluate your gutters – are they rusty or loose? If so, you can likely replace a part or two and apply a coat of sealant to clean up the deterioration. If you're missing just a few roof tiles from a bad summer storm, you could consider repairing that portion yourself if you have DIY roofing experience.

Replace: Is the rust damage to your gutters widespread? If so, you’re better off replacing them entirely. The same goes for shingle loss and roof repair. Most roofing contractors have teams that can survey the damage and easily install a new roof that will hold up for many years, making it worth the replacement investment. 

Faucets

Note that, on average, faucets should last between 10 and 20 years. It all depends on the quality of the product, and that affects the amount of money you'll need to invest.

Repair: Try to find the age of your faucet, as that could help you get a sense of whether or not you’ll need to repair or replace the unit. Then try to initially fix the situation with new hardware like washers, stem cartridges and O-rings. All parts are relatively cheap and available at your local hardware shop. If repairs are all that are necessary, installing these items should prove to be a simple fix.

Replace: If the leak doesn’t go away or you find you’re investing a good deal of money into repairs, consider replacing the faucet itself. Do your research to ensure you purchase a quality faucet to replace your current unit.

Kitchen Appliances

When it comes to kitchen appliances, the main factor you’ll want to consider is the age of your current device. 

Repair: If your appliance is still relatively new but looks a bit rough around the edges, give it a touchup. You can deep clean your machine or purchase a DIY panel kit for a quick makeover. Some of these panel kits can be pretty creative, such as a magnetic chalkboard that’s fun for the kiddos. Others can match your existing appliance or kitchen cabinets.

Replace: If your refrigerator is over 10 years old, you might want to consider switching to a new Energy Star appliance. You can save $200 over the machine’s lifetime by adequately recycling and replacing your old unit. A new dishwasher utilizes significantly fewer gallons of water to operate, saving you money and providing minor wear and tear on the machine.

Electrical Outlets

It’s time for repairs if the lights flicker every time you plug something into an outlet or turn on your coffee machine. 

Repair: You might live in an old house that isn't updated to today's electrical standards. Blown fuses and tripped circuit breakers aren't always dangerous but can be if left ignored. It's wise to hire an electrician to ensure your panel is up to date. They might be able to add another line, so you can safely utilize electricity in your home without tripping the breakers. 

Replace: It could take some time and money to ensure you get the best electrical upgrade possible to your home. Hire a licensed electrician with a reputation for updating older homes. 

Time to Repair or Replace

The question of when to repair or replace something around your home can be confusing and time-consuming. Take the time to review the underlying damage, research general cost, and check warranties. These factors will help as you consider whether or not you repair or replace faulty items.

The Importance of Professional Gutter Service for Home Maintenance

Gutters are an essential part of a home's exterior, serving the crucial function of directing rainwater away from the foundation and protecting the structural integrity of the building. However, gutters often go unnoticed until a problem arises. Regular maintenance and timely gutter service can prevent costly repairs down the line and ensure your home remains protected against water damage.

Understanding Gutter Functionality and Maintenance

Gutters work by collecting rainwater from your roof and channeling it through downspouts away from your home's foundation. When functioning correctly, this system prevents soil erosion around your house, protects landscaping, and mitigates the risk of basement flooding. However, gutters require regular maintenance to perform effectively. Leaves, twigs, and debris can clog gutters, leading to water overflow that may cause damage to your home's exterior or interior.

A professional gutter service provider can help homeowners keep their gutters in prime condition. These services typically include cleaning out leaves and debris that have accumulated over time, checking for signs of wear or damage, ensuring that downspouts are clear of obstructions, and making necessary repairs or adjustments.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Gutter Service

While some might consider cleaning their gutters themselves, hiring a professional gutter service offers numerous benefits. Professionals have the necessary tools and knowledge to safely carry out gutter maintenance tasks without causing harm to themselves or damaging your property. They can spot potential issues early on before they escalate into major problems requiring expensive solutions.

A professional gutter service also saves time for homeowners who might not have the opportunity to perform these tasks due to busy schedules. Moreover, experts can recommend upgrades or additional features such as gutter guards that can reduce maintenance needs over time.

Regular maintenance by professionals extends the lifespan of your gutters by preventing rust formation and detachment from continual water exposure due to blockages. In addition to safeguarding against structural issues with your home, well-maintained gutters also contribute to its curb appeal—a factor that is particularly important if you’re considering selling your property in the future.

Identifying Common Issues Addressed by Gutter Services

Professional gutter services are equipped to manage common problems associated with gutter systems. One such issue is sagging gutters caused by loose hangers or spikes; this not only affects functionality but also poses a safety hazard as they could potentially fall off completely.

Another problem is leaks which can occur at joints between sections of gutter or where holes have formed due to rust or puncture. A professional service will be able to repair these leaks effectively using sealants or replacing damaged sections when necessary.

Finally, improper slope can prevent water from flowing towards downspouts efficiently—this is something an expert eye is required for assessing and correcting during a servicing appointment.

In summary, regular attention from a reputable gutter service helps protect one’s most significant investment—their home—by ensuring effective management of rainwater runoff. By entrusting this task to professionals who specialize in these vital systems, homeowners gain peace of mind knowing their residence is guarded against preventable water-related damages all year round.
